I remember the Dem's passed a bill to tax companies who do this and the rethugs blocked it. Of course we all know McConnell will do nothing about this.

I think Grimes can use this an example of corporate greed and call out McConnell and ask him how are you going to save those jobs?

Time to stop buying fruit of the loom.
